If a person wants to be wise, then he is not angry if someone tells him when he does wrong. The person who hates to be told that he is wrong is stupid.
I became very scared. I said, “Oh, no! I will be destroyed. I am not pure (good) enough to speak to God. And I live among people that are not pure enough to speak to God. {\cf2\super [66]} Yet I have seen the King, the Lord All-Powerful.”
People are so stupid!\par Metal workers are fooled by the idols\par that they themselves made.\par Those statues are nothing but lies.\par They are stupid. {\cf2\super [82]} \par
I want you to understand this secret truth, brothers and sisters. This truth will help you understand that you don’t know everything. The truth is this: Part of Israel {\cf2\super [124]} has been made stubborn. But that will change when enough non-Jews have come to God.
Don’t fool yourselves. If any person among you thinks that he is wise in this world, then he should become a fool. Then that person can become truly wise.
